"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Swayed by the arguments of the many, I retract my previous statement. Does anyone think we see any changes at halftime, or does the US let it ride and Japan hope their play (they got better in the later minutes) leads to some goals?

Even if they're above board here, and I think they are, they would look like they're speaking from the Bully Pulpit .....I think the only way Michigan mentions it is if Harbaugh gets asked in an interview, and even then he'll probably just deflect the question.

Definitely. With Brandon Jennings, Reggie Jackson (or at least one of those 2), Drummond, Monroe and a scoring threat like Winslow at the 3... that's a good offensive AND defensive line-up right there.

Reading this and the Brent Hibbitts hello posts, I just want to take a minute and say Thank You to the under-appreciated in the recruiting world .. ..The highlight tape DJs. Without these bombastic beats, how would we ever sit through these 3-10 minute videos of high schoolers playing sports. Jungle Beats!

1. Seahawks are doing lip-service. They wanted Clark, and did the least amount of due diligence possible so that they could justify it.

2. In the very PR-conscious NFL, I could see the Seahawks being more afraid of the events if they did interview the victim. If they interview her and still draft him, the move looks even worse. They now take a small PR hit but have an out (We didn't know, we should have looked deeper) if things go bad. Also the added danger of the interview going bad (which wouldn't be much of a surprise since Scouts/Team execs aren't trained to handle questioning like that, even if they are good intentioned) and the victim feeling the interview was inappropriate or too aggressive. That could blow up in their faces (similar to the Cowboys with Dez Bryant) just as much.

TLDR: NFL teams care about winning and nothing else (including domestic violence). They will play the PR game only as necessary to keep the machine going.

Agree with your overall point, but I think you might be selling Bill Laimbeer a little short here. If Bielfiedt was expected to give the Wolverines the 13 pts, 10 boards that NBA Laimbeer gave the Pistons then Max would definitely be back next year.
